Synopsis
In a featureless suburb, three boys have failed their entrance exam to university. The smart boy Kim has a talent for drawing and wants to be a cartoonist but is soon disillusioned by the comic-book industry which treats him like a slave and rips off his drawings. The pale, effeminate boy Cho hangs out in his mother's beauty salon and pretends to be studying to re-sit the entrance exam. And the fat boy Kong finds a no-pay job minding a video rental store. Then comes the inevitable day when they are all called up for military service.
